I really enjoyed the Richard Sweeney workshop, With his experience he helped us make some interesting pieces, which i didn't think could be created out of just one a5 sheet of paper!
One of his designs that really inspired me was this one;
I like the way it looks like its all folding in on itself, also that its so intricately designed that it doesn't even look like paper anymore!

I experimented at first with the different ways Richard showed us including scoring, slicing and ripping. These are some of my first attempts;
This is one of the pieces that i experimented with scoring, I think this is an interesting technique however i did not finish it as a proper design, i would like to experiment with this method further.
I then moved on to a different method where i chose a spot to cut creating a small slit. I then sliced the paper into different slits and folded then into the same slit, in different directions and angles.
This was just a random method however after a few different pieces i found that however many times i did it i came out with a different design, some more stylish than others.
After this session i can see how much time and patience is needed to create pieces like Richards, which just makes me appreciate his work more!
